You can write a small wrapper shell script that sets the variable and then runs your perl script. See here for an example: http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/ports/games/frozen-bubble/files/Attic/wrapper.sh?rev=1.1;content-type=text%2Fplain;hideattic=0 It might already work in -current without LD_PRELOAD. So by the time OpenBSD 5.4 comes out you can probably stop using a wrapper script. I don't think upgrading to -current just for this is worth the effort. > is this related to mariadb-client? No. It's related to perl not being linked to the pthread library.
